It was a day of gratitude for the mothers we are, the
mothers we birthed, and the children they birthed.
My daughters Elissa and Michelle came over to Casa de Mama
with their children, and granddaughter Julia brought over her son, my
great-grandson, Philip. I was the
oldest, Chase the youngest. Chase slept peacefully while we ate, shared memories, exchanged cards and gifts, joked and
laughed. The boys made some great cards,
with many promises to Michelle to help around the house; warm thanks from
Joshua for all the Milano cookies I’ve bought for him (with hopes for more!);
and funny, clever words of thanks from Kyle.
In keeping with a little tradition, Alli took her mom to dinner, along
with her brothers. I babysat Chase.
We are making new memories. Life is good.
With special thanks to my host mom's in Ukraine, 2009-2011: Этот День матери я помню прекрасно мама хозяина в Украине: Люба и Наталья на Kyrova в Старобельске, Валя в Чернигов, когда я был волонтером Корпуса Мира в процессе обучения. Спасибо!
